Normal service on East Midlands Trains

Following the severe weather conditions that have impacted travel across large parts of the country over the past few days, East Midlands Trains has confirmed that it is planning to operate a near normal service on its London route tomorrow, Saturday 3 March.

Newark - Lincoln - Grimsby

Services will operate between Newark and Lincoln only with no service between Lincoln and Grimsby.

Nottingham - Sleaford - Skegness

Trains will operate between Nottingham and Grantham only. A replacement bus service will operate between Grantham and Boston. There will be no service between Boston and Skegness.

Customers are still strongly advised to check the website, eastmidlandstrains.co.uk, before travel due to the changing weather conditions.

Jake Kelly, Managing Director for East Midlands Trains, said: “We’ve had lots of positive feedback on how well our staff have looked after customers over the past few days and have been pleased to hear how our staff have gone above and beyond to help customers and remained cheerful under difficult circumstances.

“We’re currently planning to run a near normal service tomorrow on our London route and across the majority of our local routes. We would urge people to check before they travel however just in case the weather deteriorates and this position changes.

“The heavy snow and ice has had an impact on the condition of some of our trains, and our engineers will continue to work hard over the weekend to try and make sure that our trains are fully prepared for the start of the working week on Monday.

“We would like to thank our customers for their patience over the past couple of days and we look forward to resuming the majority of our services tomorrow.”
